I’m finding it really hard to believe that the *concentration-camp-forced-hysterectomy* story isn’t leading all broadcasts, here and abroad, as US leaders vow to hold those responsible accountable and the world demands UN sanctions.

Then I remember the happened to brown women...
I said earlier today that this should force Biden into an independent commission to investigate Trump era crimes. But I realize now that even saying that just takes as a hard fact that Republicans don’t and won’t give one crap about this state sponsored terrorism
Voting against Republicans this election is a moral imperative, and if you can’t see that you are a bad person. Period.

The six conservative justices are absolutely trying to figure out how to throw out the obstruction charges against their cousins and wives and pledge brothers who attacked the Capitol on January 6
Neil Gorsuch just analogized the January 6 rioters storming the Capitol and trying to hang Mike Pence to my Congressman, @JamaalBowmanNY, pulling a fire alarm.

The conservatives are basic black Fox News watchers given lifetime power.
There was a brilliant bit from Liz Prelogar where Alito was all "how is this different than somebody heckling this court" and Prelogar was all *cause you mofos wouldn't have to run for your lives.*
Alito dismissed it of course "yes, yes, J6 was very serious, but..."

Okay folks. I'm back for today's SCOTUS arguments about mifepristone. To set the stage, Forced-birthers are trying to prohibit medical abortion based on junk science and the idea that James Ho likes looking at other people's babies.
All the lawyers arguing today will be women. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar for the FDA.
For the group of doctors and dentists who didn't prescribe the abortion pill but want to take it away anyway, it's Erin Hawley, wife of Sen. Josh Hawley
And lastly Jessica Ellsworth representing Danco Labs which makes mifepristone and will argue "DO YOU WANT TO LET THESE ASSHOLES CHALLENGE EVERY DRUG ON THE FREAKING MARKET???"... or something. :)

I’m in a waiting room and there are a bunch of old people here and at least three of them are listening to content on their devices with no headphones… LOUDLY.
What the SHIT is this?? Is this normal? It’s like they’re sitting here with boom boxes.
One guy is just playing an ALBUM. Another lady keeps watching clips from, I assume, her baby granddaughter that somebody sent her. Another person appears to be trying to learn RUSSIAN.

I’m am legit going insane.
I finally broke and, as politely as I could, motioned to my ear and mouthed “headphones” the guy playing the album (he was closest to me).
He said, loudly, “The phone don’t have a jack no more.”
… AS IF THAT SOLVED MY PROBLEM!!!

Hey, remember when a 64yo unloaded 1,000 rounds at a Las Vegas music festival and killed 60 people? Remember how the *Trump* administration thought that was too much death and banned bump stocks?
Yeah, ammosexuals are still pissed about that. Today they're at SCOTUS.
Let's find out if Republican justices are even more committed to blood and death and the idea that the Constitution is a murder-suicide pact than the NRA-bought Republican presidents who put them there.
Gorsuch is worried that people who own bump stocks are now felons, and that they could lose their gun rights and "other civil rights, including the right to vote."
... To recap: Gorsuch is very concerned about ammosexuals losing their voting rights, no one else though.

Here we go. Trump v. Anderson live tweet thread:

Jonathan Mitchell out here making the claim that the President is not an officer of the united states.
Thomas wants to talk about whether S-3 is "self executing." The conservative argument here is that Congress has to pass a law implementing section 3, as opposed to it just being a thing.
Mitchell is saying that Trump should be able to run even if he can't hold the office, because Congress can remove the insurrectionists disability (by 2/3rds of a vote) after he wins if they want to.

All right, let's set up what to watch for in today's SCOTUS Trump ballot access argument.
The justices I'll be paying the most attention to are Neil Gorsuch and Elena Kagan.
The Court is likely to keep Trump on the ballot. But...
Neil is the guy who is most willing to carry his logic through to the bitter end, to hell with the consequences. And Neil's logic *should* exclude Trump. He once wrote an opinion that kicked other people off the ballot, b/c they failed a textual test in the constitution.
Course, that guy was Arab and Trump is white and, unless you're a white man or Native American, Neil isn't sure you get to exist in this country so there's that.
Still, I can't count to 5 unless Gorsuch is on board, so I'll be listening for hope.
